Bethab princedom was one of the ten princedoms reunited into a single country under Gavilar Kholin. It is unknown whether Highprince Bethab fought for Gavilar or against him during the war for unification.

Jasnah Kholin was in residence in Dumadari for an unknown amount of time in 1173. Shallan Davar travelled to the city to meet with the Alethi princess, however, by the time she arrived Jasnah had moved on.[4]

Brightlord Bethab is the current Highprince of this princedom. He has, on several occasions, when negotiating business contracts with the king, included language that would favor him for succession of the throne.[5]Mishinah Bethab, the Highprince's wife, is also highly involved in Alethi politics and will represent his interests on occasion.[6][7]
